Gonna be a solid barometer game for the C's.  Especially considering the level of competition they've faced the past couple of weeks.

James Harden terrifies me.

I'm not coach, but I think this is the kind of game where we just have to switch everything in the pick and rolls and let him do his stuff, as long as we don't let him involve anyone else.

Bring in Marcus Smart!

Mentally preparing myself to see Harden shoot about 44 FTs tonight.

Wish Theis was gane ready for this. Do we know his status for tonight?

 
Brian Robb

@BrianTRobb
Daniel Theis (hamstring) got checked out by doctors and is feeling much better. He's likely available for tonight's game, according to Brad Stevens.


Adam Himmelsbach

@AdamHimmelsbach
Theis said he’s playing tonight, as long as he gets through shootaround ok.

I mean, continuously switching is what let Harden go off last game with the mismatches. It wasn’t until they stopped and let Smart fight around screens that we slowed him down.

Unless it’s Brown, Smart, or Semi who gets switched into Harden, I don’t want to see any switches.

We need all hands on deck to beat this team. I mean everyone needs to bring it, bench needs to come in there and make a difference.

I really want a win here but am not feeling good about it tonight. If they lose, I get that, just don't get blown out.

Big key will be Jaylen Brown imo. Needs to continue to play aggressive and attack the hoop. More than likely, he will start off guarding/ being guarded by Harden. Needs to avoid early foul trouble because we all know Harden is going to try and set the tone with the refs early and often tonight.

Also would like to see the Cs target JB early on in offense and let him go at Harden.

Just got home from a long trip to Chicago to present at a conference, and I'm ready to settle in and watch some Celtics basketball!

Not exactly a fan of starting Baynes against this Rockets one-big lineup. Would rather have Morris to matchup with Ariza.
